Ladies! Raise your hands if you love summer! (I should see all hands raised here!)
Clap your hands if you love NATURAL tinted moisturisers! *Claps enthusiastically*
Jump for joy if you love NATURAL tinted moisturisers with the promised sun protection! *Jumps violently*
Well, ladies…we’ve got you covered!
Most SPF tinted moisturisers either have too much zinc that gives off a blue sheen, or it’s tint doesn’t provide a natural blend or shade of skin colour, and it can become quite irritating when trying to work with complementary make-ups. You may have even come across SPF moisturisers that fall short of SPF expectations where you become burnt earlier than expected, or comes off easily during regular daily activities.
We are going to provide 3 characteristics that make CIVONA’s Protective Glow, Wollongong’s NEW favourite SPF Tinted Moisturiser worth your while!
With the powerful illuminating cream that hydrates, calms, protects & covers your skin, we’ll let it do the convincing of you need to give it a try!
Let’s first address the most important reason why we reach for the SPF moisturisers in the first place: Protection!
As much as we love the sun and want to spend as much time as we possible dancing, playing, and relaxing, in its glorious rays…it just doesn’t seem to love us back with its number one goal to burn us alive! (Or so it seems.)
So the combined power of zinc and titanium help to block a broad spectrum of the UVA + UVB rays that traumatise our skin cells. Acting as a physical barrier over the skin, the UV rays are reflected and scattered off the zinc and titanium, preventing them from being absorbed into the skin.
Zinc Oxide 5%
Unfortunately, zinc doesn’t get much praise beyond its UV protection, even though it has other super powers that are just as worthy of acknowledgement!
Did you know that zinc also nourishes our skin by stimulating collagen formation, as well as stimulating the reversal of damaged collagen matrix? This is a vital componenet for new tissue production and combats aging. Zinc also plays a supporting role in synthesis of DNA and protects the skins immune integrity with anti-inflammatory & bacterial infection defence. Making it a hero to provide relief for acne, rosacea, psoriasis & eczema sufferers.
Titanium Dioxide 15.5%
Other abilities include: preventing ageing & abnormal lesion formation induced by over exposure to sun. It also has a blurring effect that helps illuminate & disguise uneven pigmentation.
Titanium also teams up with the Illumination team (see below in the third characteristic) as a natural primer prior to make-up application.
There are 3 specific ingredients in this amazing SPF tinted moisturiser that play a major role in nourishing the skin to create a skin barrier that is vigilant towards toxins and free radicals, strong in shielding the DNA from being traumatised, and durable against the demands of pollution within our environments.
Note: As fascinating as the science is when you fall down a rabbit hole of curiosity and adventure, we want to be considerate of the other readers who are only interested in a brief overview of what these ingredients do. BUT, we highly encourage you to do the research yourself and become empowered with knowledge so you can make the wise decisions for yourself to suit your values and lifestyle!
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 Biomimetic Peptide (EGCG – Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate)
Don’t let the long name scare you! It is the master switch for anti-oxidant signalling! Meaning, it fights off free radicals that may be cancerous! It also protects the extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and modulates inflammation from external factors, all while shielding the DNA, the membrane’s integrity and overall skin structure. It also reduces oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (the ageing factors). Also helps to reduce pigmentation.
Niacinamide – Vitamin B3
As we age, our skin’s barrier function becomes compromised. Well thank goodness for Niacinamide! Because it repairs it, helping to reduce the sensitivity to pollutants and other extrinsic factors. It’s also a potent anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders. It reduces hyperpigmentation, tumour formation, and regulates moisture levels.
Hyaluronic Acid
Now…if we want hydrated skin, we must have a molecule that loves to snuggle with water! Hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturising factor that attracts and binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture! This plumps the surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin and assists wound healing and repairs barrier function alongside Niacinamide. It plays a role with reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema & pruritus. And the ultra low weight hyaluronic acid penetrates effectively to rebuild and plump deeper layers firming the skins surface! All in all, it replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing and sun damage.
Let’s move onto the aesthetics component of the tinted moisturiser! These 2 ingredients pack a punch of nourishing elements but are the main factors in creating that luxuriously soft, hydrated, and luminous skin! Bring that youthfulness back!
Cocos Nucifera Fruit Extract – Coconut Botanical
Ok, this is the highlight of this extract! It assimilates with the skin, transforming it into a luxuriously soft, hydrated surface! But there are also hidden powers of coconuts! Increase the absorption of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, along with intense hydration retention! This extract is also anti-inflammatory and an anti-oxidant, reducing the penetration of free radical agressors and pollutants.
D-Panthenol – Vitamin B5
And finally, Vitamin B5 promoting luminous, even toned skin by managing healthy levels of fibroblasts, prolific in skins connective tissue! But it doesn’t stop there with its gifts! It adds moisture and maintains strength of barrier function, calms atopic skin disorders alongside Vitamin B3, and smooths roughness and fine lines! And we can’t forget the anti-aging properties by revitalising cells and regulates moisture levels!
Phew! That was a lot to take in! But really, all you need to know is that CIVONA’s Protective Glow SPF tinted moisturisers contain optimal cutting edge, anti-oxidant enriched nutrients that mimic virtual skin with a luxurious silky & velvet lustre.
All while providing potent DNA repair, immune protection, skin rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, anti-inflammatories, pigment inhibition, moisture balance & barrier repair.
Infusing skin with technologically advanced biomimetic peptide, potent vitamins & natural moisturising factors, compounded with platinum calibre Zinc & Titanium Dioxide for a calming and guarding effect against premature ageing, creating a physical barrier to UV ray absorption.
